Sadly we couldn’t make it to the first night 😦 [we’re a bit renegade] but we heard that it went off BIG TIME! But we’re here now and it’s Friday night! And what we see on display is what we like. It’s an extravaganza! And the lineup looks badass!

So without further ado, let’s enjoy BBF RENEGADES!

The lights go down and something mysterious wanders out of the shadows and into full view…who could it be? Could they be FUN!? Could they be WONDERFUL!? Could they be…

DIS-CHARGE!

Dis-charge is glamorously dressed up in a long, long, loooooooooong shiny dress with a big, badass bottom. The slender and mahoosive image is joined by huge, huge, hoooooooj heels, and a headdress with flowers and all kind of other mystical mumbo jumbo dotted all over it [text not really doing it justice, let’s face it] (look at the picture) but anyway…

As the host, the boss, the big kahuna…Dis introduces us to the show…

Dis: “Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the Bristol Burlesque Festival 2017…tonight you’re going to see some renegade stripper action…we have performers from all over the world…America, Germany, Norway, and from the UK as well.”

“But first up, the act we’re about to see has something to do with the pole that’s been standing freely in the centre of the stage…it’s…”

ANNA FROST!

Anna Frost sweeps elegantly towards the pole…tall, long blonde hair, elegant, alluring…she has rose tattoos rising up her leg, tiger knickers and bra covering her body, a fishnet top and some devious silver glitter heels…

There’s a table with jars of sweets and knick-knacks and all kinds of cabaret flotsam and jetsam sitting on the stage…now what is that for I wonder?

Dis: “Are you all feeling suitably lubricated?”

Audience: “YESSSSSSSSSS!!!”

Clearly they’re pissed as a fart…must be all that cider and West Country moonshine…[I’m from Suffolk so I think I can get away that comment…East Country, West Country…we’re practically cousins…shit, we probably are!]
